Back burning in the marsh

[Matt G]

We were just told they'll be burning our marsh sometime this month and that we need to back burn around our blinds and camp if we didn't want them to burn down. How in the Hell am I supposed to do that without burning up the whole marsh? I'm scared once it starts I won't be able to stop it.

firebreaks maybe

get the right wind to push away and light it up.

they are gonna burn the marsh anyway. just pick the right wind and burn the marsh around your camp. doesn't matter where it goes.

if you hunt deer there, u are screwed.

Man sounds like we were just being a bunch of pu $$ies! No one wanted to be the one responsible for lighting it up and burning up God knows what. We had the right wind direction and everything.

And no deer hunting jopete. Strictly waterfowl lease.

But if you rabbit hunt ,It's game on when the flames start.

it is the best deerhunt there is as well!! only thing is mr. greenjeans will not approve.

hell, out marsh burn last year opening weekend of deer season. i could of loaded the boat with deer, but i only sat in the boat and watched them. the thought of shooting somebody running out of their burning house just doesn't appeal to me. [unless they are obama supporters]

Yep.

Matt, just burn small areas at a time. Don't do more than one fire at a time. keep it small. Let me know if you need some help.

Thanks Chief. I've fought many field fires, so I know how they can move quick and things can go south just as quickly.
